Trustix Secure Linux Security Advisory #2004-0029

Package name:      kernel
Summary:           local root
Date:              2004-05-13
Affected versions: Trustix Secure Linux 2.0
                   Trustix Secure Linux 2.1
                   Trustix Secure Enterprise Linux 2

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package description:
  The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz), the core of your
  Trustix Secure Linux operating system.  The kernel handles the basic
  functions of the operating system:  memory allocation, process allocation,
  device input and output, etc.


Problem description:
  There is an integer overflow in the SCTP code in the Linux kernel starting
  with 2.4.23-pre5 and up to and including 2.4.25.  This could allow for
  a local root exploit.


Action:
  We recommend that all systems with this package installed be upgraded.

  All Trustix Secure Linux updates are available from
  <URI:http://http.trustix.org/pub/trustix/updates/>
